What Goals and Notes Do You Want To Write In Your Volleyball Journal?
Starting in high school I've kept a volleyball journal to track my skill development, record goal achievements, gratitude expression and list quote inspiration.
I've always kept a volleyball journal to document my volleyball playing journey ever since I was a sophomore in high school.
I wrote EVERYTHING down...here are 9 things I always wrote about in my volleyball journal ...from
- setting and achieving or failing to achieve short term, mid term and long term goals
- to thoughts I had before, during and after practices
- to goals I set for myself about strength and conditioning sessions that I completed,
- to emotions I expressed towards teammates and coaches
- to keeping track of making weight (or not) in weigh-ins
- to things/happenings/events/awards that I was grateful for
- to motivational quotes I wanted to be inspired by
- to prayers and scriptures to be inspired by
- to upcoming trips and travel and things I needed to remember to bring or do before leaving
My obsession with writing everything down in my volleyball journal has now become my passion for creating my own line of volleyball journals for girls and volleyball players with goals.
Stick with me to see how I develop and create a fun candy colored line of volleyball diaries, notebooks, and gratitude journals for all occasions that're super important to the high school, college and professional indoor and sand male and female volleyball player....
- six month planners that start in July ..the preseason month before the preseason month that we all know starts in August when every player reports back to school for training camp.
- a line of gratitude journals where you can record your "Today I am grateful for" memories
- a collection of fun candy colored volleyball notebooks that make cute volleyball gifts for your coach, a senior gift or a busy volleyball mom
- from simple journals that have 100 pages of blank ruled paper so you can write anything...anywhere....anyhow to guided journals with prompts where you can share your appreciation for life and volleyball events
- road trip journals with agendas, planners, gratitude and prayer sections along with puzzles and activity options that'll keep you busy during your bus or plane travel from one match to another
- volleyball teammate birthday list journals - where you can keep track of your teammate, coach, strength and conditioning coach and volleyball mom's birthdays each month
- journals with positive journaling prompts and self confidence journaling prompts so you have ideas about what to include in your journaling journey.
